  1. CSCI2110 – Discrete MathematicsTutorial 6Recursion Wong Chung Hoi (Hollis) 12-7-2011

  2. Agenda • How to solve recurrence • Counting Rabbits • Double Tower of Hanoi • Tower of Hanoi with adjacency requirement • Counting strings • Triangulated polygon

  3. How to solve recurrence • Recurrence Equation and Boundary Values • E.g. Rn = Rn-1 + Rn-2 + n,T0 = 0, T1 = 1 • Solving recurrence problem: • Define a recurrence variable, e.g. Rn • Try for a few base cases, e.g. R1, R2,… • Express Rn in terms of Rn-1, Rn-2,… • If it is not possible, try another approach • Find its closed form if necessary, e.g. calculating large n • By observation, guessing or iteration • Verify the closed form • By base cases or induction

  4. Agenda • How to solve recurrence • Counting Rabbits • Double Tower of Hanoi • Tower of Hanoi with adjacency requirement • Counting strings • Triangulated polygon

  5. Counting Rabbits - Problem • Problem • Start with 1 pair of baby rabbit. • Rabbits take 2 months to become an adult. • Adult rabbits gives birth to 3 pairs of baby rabbits every month. • Rabbits NEVER DIE! • Number of pairs of rabbits in the end of the year? • Denote Rn as the number of rabbit after n month. • R0= 1, R1 = 1, R2 = 1, R3 = 3+1=4, R4 = 4+3 = 7 …

  6. Counting Rabbits - Solution • Observation: Rabbit born at nth month = 3Rn-3 • Rn = 3Rn-3 + Rn-1 • By Repeatedly substitution R5 = 10 R6 = 22 R7= 43 R8 = 73 R9 = 139 R10 = 268 R11 = 487 R12 = 904

  7. Agenda • How to solve recurrence • Counting Rabbits • Double Tower of Hanoi • Tower of Hanoi with adjacency requirement • Counting strings • Triangulated polygon

  8. Double tower of Hanoi – Problem • How many moves is needed to move the whole tower? • Denote Tn as the number of moves for moving 2n discs from one pole to another. B C A 2n discs

  9. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = ?

  10. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 1

  11. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2

  12. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=?

  13. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=1

  14. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=2

  15. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=3

  16. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=4

  17. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=5

  18. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • T1 = 2,T2=6, T3 = ? • What is the recurrence equation?

  19. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Observation: • We must first move the top 2(n-1) discs

  20. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Observation: • We must first move the top 2(n-1) discs • Then move the 2 largest discs

  21. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Observation: • We must first move the top 2(n-1) discs • Then move the 2 largest discs

  22. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Observation: • We must first move the top 2(n-1) discs • Then move the 2 largest discs • Move the 2(n-1) discs again

  23. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Observation: • We must first move the top 2(n-1) discs • Then move the 2 largest discs • Move the 2(n-1) discs again • Tn = Tn-1 + 2 + Tn-1 = 2Tn-1 + 2

  24. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Finding the closed form of Tn = 2Tn-1 + 2 • By iteration: Tn = 2Tn-1 + 2 = 2(2Tn-2 + 2) + 2 = 22Tn-2+22+2 = 22(2Tn-3+2)+22+2 = 23Tn-3+23+22+2 … = 2n-1T1+2n-1+2n-2+…+2 = 2n+2n-1+…+2 = 2(1-2n) / (1-2) = 2n+1-2

  25. Double tower of Hanoi – Solution • Verifying Tn = 2Tn-1+2, T1 = 2 is equivalent to Tn=2n+1-2 • By induction: • Case n = 1, T1 = 21+1-2 = 2 • Assume when n = k-1, they are equivalent • Case n = k, Tk= 2Tk-1+2 = 2(2(k-1)+1-2) + 2 = 2k+1 -2
